Why does nobody take his ctmu (cognitive theoretic model of the universe) seriously? He has an IQ of 210.

>> No.9220522

Because it doesn't make sense and he doesn't have a 210 IQ.

I must have an "IQ" of 211, because I read through a synopsis of the body of his work, and thought his theories were common sensical, intuitive, no brainer truths, like this one: "syndiffeosis" - as much something seems different than something else, it is equally one in the same.
Ok, so it restates the ancient 'ying yang' principle, nice.

He's right. As in Rome, as in Athens, the US is showing the same pattern of decay. Scale and technology seemingly playing little into this as far as swaying the core pattern.

Though there is something deeper going on. A thread through history. I'd like to find some clarity on that before death. I get the feeling the human species is being purged. Not population control, purging. Like cleaning a petri dish. Only we ourselves are carrying it out.

Langan told Muscle Magazine that "you cannot describe the universe completely with any accuracy unless you're willing to admit that it's both physical and mental in nature"[11] and that the CTMU "explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase".[12] He calls his proposal "a true 'Theory of Everything', a cross between John Archibald Wheeler's 'Participatory Universe' and Stephen Hawking's 'Imaginary Time' theory of cosmology."[4] In conjunction with his ideas, Langan has claimed: "You can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics."[7]

Robert Seitz, a former NASA Executive and Mega Foundation director, stated that "every physicist is inundated with amateurs' ‘Theories of Everything,' but Chris' CTMU is very, very different".[13] On the flip side, the CTMU theory has been criticized for its use of convoluted language. Langan's use of terms he has invented (or redefined) has made his exposition obscure. Some suggest this is deliberate

Most terminology is useless or screwed up. It's not surprising he redefined some terms, and made the message concrete and self contained.

I guess you must not have much experience communicating complex ideas clearly and concisely. I haven't read his thing, but normalizing variation and stripping historical baggage definitely has its appeal. Cuts out a lot of the bullshitting around where you're constantly bouncing what you mean to say off something else.

Don't be mad that you're too lazy to invest any effort into any sort of foundation work. You will not always simply be told in a spongeable way.

Yeah which isnt a fucking revelation of any kind, its common sense to anyone who has read even the smallest amount of political theory. It's like pointing out that 3 can be constructed of 2+1, or 1+1+1; there is no significance to it at all. Christ you dont even need to be educated on political theory to arrive at that conclusion, simple observation or thought of the human condition would lead you to it. I encourage you to re read that tweet and actually consider the grammatical structure and ideas hes trying to convey. Whole chunks of it are just made up bullshit like "This is what a Constitutional Republic like the US is supposed to approximate." or his assertion that whatever is most practical is therefore most rational. I have never met someone who wasnt a retard in all my time in academia who thought he wasnt a hack.
